  1. Alan,

    This was an very informative podcast and goes into way more detail than Costa Rica HQ. I especially appreciate the utility cost breakdown, since I am still considering where I want to live next.

  2. I loved your website. Very informative.
    How can I ask U some questions in private?
    Thanks and hope to hear from U soon
    Regards

  3. Hi Ria and Richard,

    I’m glad you found the podcast helpful! I’ll send you an email Richard.

  4. While researching Costa Rica I found a site called http://www.costaricahq.org. It tells you all about vacationing as well as living there. The information you will find covers everything from the best restaurants to incorporating a business. This information is very useful as I assumed the services available would be such as North America and sometimes they are not.
